What services does Fay Interior Design offer?

We provide interior design services across residential homes and boutique workplaces throughout Sydney including consult rooms, small offices and creative studios.
Our work spans Architectural Interiors, Bespoke Joinery and Sourcing and Furnishing supported by briefing workshops, concept design, design development, technical documentation, FF&E selection, procurement and project coordination.

Do you take on small or furnishing-only projects?

Yes. Alongside full renovations and fitouts, we offer furnishing and sourcing packages for clients seeking a cohesive, considered space without construction.
We also work with small professional practices and medical professionals to create warm, grounded consult rooms that support focus and wellbeing.

What is your design process?

Every project begins with a Briefing & Visual Alignment Workshop, allowing us to understand your goals, lifestyle, functional needs and aesthetic direction.
From there, projects typically move through:

1. Concept Design

2. Design Development

3. Documentation

4. Procurement & Implementation

This framework provides clarity, structure and a cohesive design outcome from start to finish.

Which areas do you service?

Fay Interior Design works primarily across Sydney, including the Northern Beaches, Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, North Shore and surrounding regions.
Virtual design consultations are available for interstate clients.

How much does interior design cost?

Design fees vary depending on the size, complexity, and scope of your project.
Most projects are offered on a fixed fee basis, while smaller furnishing or consultation services may be structured hourly.
Before any work begins, you will receive a detailed fee proposal outlining scope, deliverables and investment.

Can you work within my budget?

Yes. Early conversations around investment help ensure design intent, scope and budget remain aligned from the outset.
We guide clients in prioritising materials, finishes, joinery and furnishings to achieve a refined and enduring outcome at any scale.

Do you work with builders and trades?

Yes. We collaborate closely with trusted builders, joiners, trades and consultants to ensure the design is delivered with clarity and consistency.
We can also support projects during construction, assisting with decisions and on site coordination where required.

How long does a project take?

Timelines vary depending on scope, but as a general guide:

• Concept Design: 2–3 weeks

• Design Development: 2–4 weeks

• Documentation: 2–4 weeks

• Procurement & Construction: variable, based on lead times and builder program

If you have a specific deadline or opening date, we can help map a realistic project timeline.

Do you provide furniture and styling packages?

Yes. For projects without construction, we offer curated sourcing and furnishing services that include furniture, lighting, artwork, textiles and accessories.
This ensures a cohesive, layered outcome that feels refined and personal.

Do you design small professional practices and consult spaces?

Yes, this is a key area of our work.
We design boutique workplaces with careful attention to acoustics, lighting, colour and material psychology, creating spaces that feel calm, professional and supportive.

Are you a Passive House Designer?

Yes. Rachel is a Certified Passive House Designer, and this technical understanding informs our approach to comfort, material integrity and long term performance.
Rather than being a standalone service, these principles are quietly integrated into our design process.

How do I get started with Fay Interior Design?

You can enquire directly via the website contact form.
From there, we will arrange a short introductory call to understand your project and determine the most suitable level of service.
If aligned, the first formal step is booking the Briefing and Visual Alignment Workshop.

Do I need to have a clear design style before working with you?

Not at all. A core part of our process is helping you uncover what feels right for you and your space.
Through workshops, visual references and material exploration, we shape an atmosphere that feels natural and deeply personal.
